Definitions

  • the invention pertains to an anti-skid device for motor vehicles with pneumatic tires, which device has at least two arms at an angle to other each next to the wheel rim when in the installed state, the free ends of the arms being connected to anti-skid means laid around the circumference of the tire, where a fastening device can be used to attach the arms to the wheel.
  • An anti-skid device of this type is known from Austrian Patent No. 385,243.
  • This also has a bracket, which, when in the installed state, is located next to the outside surface of the wheel and comprises two arms at an angle to each other, the free ends of which are connected to anti-skid means in the form of chains laid around the circumference of the wheel.
  • a coupling device attaches the bracket to the wheel, against which the bracket is held under tension. Rubber belts, which are hooked onto the rim of the wheel, are part of this coupling device.
  • the disadvantages are that not every rim is suitable for accepting the hooks of rubber belts and that this form of attachment to the wheel is not very reliable.
  • An anti-skid device of the type indicated above in which a clamping head, which can be attached to a lug nut, is provided to connect the coupling device to the wheel, is also known on the basis of public prior use.
  • the clamping head is connected to the arms of the bracket by a rubber strand, the free ends of which are supported in bushings.
  • One of these bushings is attached to the arms of the bracket, while the other is connected to the clamping head by a connecting piece.
  • the rubber strand exerts a tensioning force on the bracket directed toward the wheel and also absorbs the shifts between the bracket and the clamping head during the rotation of the wheel which are caused by imperfect centering of the installed bracket and especially by the flexing movement of the pneumatic tires as they roll.
  • a similar anti-skid device the bracket of which has a fastening element for connection to a lug bolt, is also known from DE 38 44 494 A1.
  • a clamping head for attaching an anti-skid device to a lug bolt is also known from, for example, DE 39 10 669 A1.
  • the attachment to the lug bolt is off-center and out of balance, and as a result of the one-sided load the snow chain also works itself loose from its anchoring more easily.
  • An anti-skid device is also known from EP 0,285,903 A1.
  • This device has an adapter part for fastening the anti-skid device to the wheel of the vehicle.
  • the adapter part can be attached by means of clamping heads, which are fastened to the lug bolts.
  • a task of the invention is to provide an anti-skid device of the type described above which is easy to install and makes possible a reliable attachment of the anti-skid device to the circumference of the tire. This is achieved according to the invention by an anti-skid device.
  • an anti-skid device In an anti-skid device according to the invention, a reliable attachment of the fastening device to the lug nuts or lug bolts is made possible by the adapter part. If the anti-skid device is not needed and is to be removed from the circumference of the tire, the adapter part can remain on the lug nuts.
  • the adapter part can be of a simple design in this case, so that it can be produced at low cost.
  • a single adapter part can be designed in such a way that it can be used on different types of rims such as four-hole rims and five-hole rims. It is also possible to provide different types of adapter parts for different types of rims, especially with respect to the mounting holes and/or with respect to the size of the adapter part, all of which can be used in conjunction with the same coupler.
  • the anti-skid devices are designed as circumferentially closed, endless strands of chain and are connected by retaining tabs to the arms, a recess being provided in each retaining tab to guide the strand of chain over its assigned tab.
  • a recess being provided in each retaining tab to guide the strand of chain over its assigned tab.
  • the coupling device comprises a central bolt, on which the arms of the bracket of the anti-skid device are supported.
  • This bolt is connected by ball joint-like connections to the arms at one end and to the minimum of one locking part at the other. It is therefore possible for the movements which occur as a result of the flexing of the tire as it rolls to be absorbed, as a result of which a long service life can be achieved without the occurrence of material fatigue fractures.
  • FIG. 1 shows a side view of a wheel with an anti-skid device attached to it
  • FIG. 2 shows a cross section perpendicular to the plane of the drawing of FIG. 1 (adapter part in cross section, corresponding to FIG. 3 );
  • FIG. 3 shows a magnified view of the adapter part, which is attached to the lug nuts or lug bolts (cross-sectional line AA in FIG. 4 );
  • FIG. 4 shows a partial cutaway view from below the adapter part with the clamping heads arranged in two mounting holes (in viewing direction B in FIG. 3 );
  • FIG. 5 shows a magnified view of the coupler in a cross section corresponding to FIG. 2;
  • FIG. 6 shows a partial cutaway view from below the coupler (in viewing direction C in FIG. 5 );
  • FIG. 7 shows a view of a retaining tab (in viewing direction D in FIG. 1 ), where the strands of the chain are illustrated only schematically for the sake of clarity and only in an area situated near the retaining tab;
  • FIG. 8 shows a cross section along line EE of FIG. 7
  • FIG. 9 shows a partial cutaway side view of a retaining tab (in viewing direction F in FIG. 8 );
  • FIGS. 10 and 11 show longitudinal cross sections through the clamping heads
  • FIG. 12 shows a longitudinal cross section of the bearing part with the ball joint socket
  • FIG. 13 shows a view of the bearing part of FIG. 12 from below.
  • an anti-skid device in the form of a so-called self-installing snow chain has two crossing arms 1 , 2 , which, in the installed state of the snow chain, are located next to the outside surface of the wheel. These arms are supported so that they can swivel with respect to each other around a central axis in order that the snow chain can be supported in a minimum of space.
  • the arms 1 , 2 can each be designed to consist of multiple parts, where parts 93 , 94 are connected to each other by screws 3 or rivets.
  • each of the retaining tabs has a recess 84 for each strand, by which the strand is guided over the retaining tab 4 .
  • knob-like elevations 89 are provided on the outside surface facing away from the tread to improve the anti-skid behavior of the retaining tabs 4 on snow and ice. It is also advisable to provide knob-like elevations 92 on the bottom surfaces of the retaining tabs 4 to help prevent any slippage with respect to the tread 88 . So that they can also be effective in the area of the retaining tabs, the links of the chain strand lying in the recesses 84 project beyond the top surface of the retaining tab.
  • the retaining tab is connected by a transverse bolt 91 to the free end of the arm, which is bent over to form an eye and projects into a slot 90 in the arm extension 6 of the retaining tab.
  • the transverse bolts extends across the slot.
  • Spacers 7 are provided to keep the strands 83 of the chain apart in the areas between the retaining tabs 4 . These spacers 7 hold the strands a certain distance apart, this distance being greater than that between the recesses 84 in the retaining tabs. In the areas adjacent to the retaining tabs, the chain strands therefore extend out toward the sides at an angle, as illustrated in an exaggerated manner in FIG. 7, which has the effect of stabilizing the strands and preventing them from shifting laterally.
  • retaining tabs Although the design of the retaining tabs shown here represents a preferred embodiment, other designs are also conceivable and possible. They can also be designed in correspondence with the state of the art cited in the introduction to the specification. In place of endless chains, it would also be possible to use individual sections of chain, the ends of which are attached to the tabs, so that each section extends between one retaining tab and the next.
  • the arms 1 , 2 can be attached by a fastening device to the lug bolts or lug nuts 8 , as will be explained in greater detail below.
  • the fastening device comprises an essentially flat, disk-shaped adapter part 9 , which can be attached to at least two lug bolts or lug nuts, and the base body of which is made as a single piece.
  • Clamping heads 11 are provided to attach the adapter part 9 ; these clamping heads pass through mounting holes 10 in the adapter part, which has a circular circumferential contour.
  • the mounted adapter part spans the center of the rim, where the central longitudinal axis 21 of the rim passes through the center point of the adapter part 9 .
  • a possible design of a clamping head is illustrated in FIGS. 10 and 11.
  • a clamping head 11 of this type comprises a clamping bushing 13 , on the front end of which finger-like clamping extensions 12 with a conical or wedge-shaped, outward-projecting exterior surface are arranged.
  • the clamping projections 12 have grooves machined into their inside walls to prevent the clamping head from slipping off the head of the lug bolt or the lug nut 8 .
  • a clamping sleeve 15 surrounding the clamping bushing 13 rests on the clamping extensions.
  • a threaded extension 48 with an outside thread is attached to the rear of the clamping bushing.
  • a tensioning sleeve 14 with an inside thread can be screwed onto the threaded extension.
  • This tensioning sleeve has a screw head 50 .
  • the clamping sleeve 15 is moved forward and pushed against the conical outside surface of the clamping extensions 12 , so that these are pushed inward.
  • the adapter part 9 is inserted directly between the rear surface of the clamping sleeve 15 and the screw head 50 of the tensioning sleeve 14 (FIG. 10 ), or a spacer sleeve 49 is inserted additionally between the adapter part 9 and the rear surface of the clamping sleeve 15 , which for this purpose is provided with an inward-extending flange 51 (FIG. 11 ).
  • mounting holes 10 spaced a certain distance apart from each other in the circumferential direction are provided in the adapter part 9 .
  • six of these mounting holes 10 are provided, some of which are designed as slots.
  • An adapter part of this type can be used for various four-hole and five-hole rims. It is also conceivable in principle and possible to provide adapter parts individually adapted to each type of rim. An adapter part which can be used for different rims, however, is preferred, which adapter will have at least five, preferably at least six mounting holes 10 distributed around the circumference.
  • the adapter part 9 there are also two pear-shaped openings 22 , symmetric to the central, longitudinal axis 21 of the wheel rim 17 .
  • These openings 22 are on the same plane as the mounting holes 10 , the axes of which are also parallel to the longitudinal axis 21 of the rim.
  • mushroom-shaped locking parts 23 can be held, which are attached to a coupler 55 of the fastening device.
  • the coupler 55 comprises here an intermediate piece 25 , which has a plate-shaped section 32 , which is parallel to the adapter part when the coupler is connected to the adapter part, and two arms 26 , proceeding laterally from the plate section, which arms are perpendicular to the plate-shaped section 32 and extend down toward the wheel rim 17 .
  • the free ends of these arms 26 are bent in an offset manner toward the outside, and the locking parts 23 are provided on the sections bent in this way.
  • the heads 24 of the locking parts 23 can be inserted into a first area of the opening; the width of this first area of the opening is larger than the diameter of the head 24 of the locking part.
  • the intermediate piece 25 By rotating the intermediate piece 25 (in the counterclockwise direction in FIG. 3 ), the mushroom-shaped locking parts are pushed into the second areas of the openings 22 , the width of which is smaller than the diameters of the head 24 of the locking parts 23 , so that the heads 24 engage behind the edges of the openings 22 in these second areas of the openings 22 .
  • the neck 20 of each locking part 23 thus rests snugly against the edge of the opening 22 .
  • the longitudinal centerline of each opening 22 along which the two sections of the opening 22 lie, forms an arc of a circle.
  • leaf springs 27 are attached to the rear surface of the adapter part 9 facing the rim 17 .
  • these springs rest against the adapter part 9 and cover the first areas of the openings 22 ; one of the long edges of the each spring extends between the first area and the second area of the opening 22 .
  • the head 24 of the locking part 23 is inserted into the first area of the opening 22 , the associated leaf spring 27 is therefore pushed down toward the rim 17 .
  • the leaf spring springs back into its position resting against the adapter part 9 and thus prevents the locking part, which is now in the second area of the opening 22 , from shifting back unintentionally into the first area of the opening 22 (e.g., when the vehicle is being driven in reverse).
  • the leaf springs 27 are attached to the adapter part 9 by blind rivets 45 .
  • pins 29 in the form of screws are attached to the leaf springs 27 ; the screws project through holes in the leaf spring 27 , and the leaf spring lies between two nuts screwed onto the screw.
  • openings 30 are provided in the adapter part 9 , through which the pins 29 can pass through the adapter part 9 .
  • These pins 29 can be used to move the leaf springs 27 away from the adapter part 9 toward the rim 17 , whereupon the associated locking part 23 can be shifted back into the first area of the opening 22 , pulled out through this first area of the opening, and thus removed from the adapter part 9 .
  • a pressure plate 31 is provided, which can be moved down along the arms 26 of the intermediate piece 25 . So that the pressure plate 31 can be shifted, it is attached to the forward ends of connecting pins 33 , which pass through openings in the plate-shaped section 32 of the intermediate piece 25 . The opposite ends of these pins are attached to a carrier disk 34 .
  • the plate-shaped section 32 of the intermediate piece 25 and the carrier disk 34 are kept a certain distance apart by a compression spring 35 .
  • An actuating disk 52 is firmly screwed to the carrier disk 34 .
  • the pressure plate 31 is pushed against the pins 29 , which causes the leaf springs 27 to move away from the adapter part 9 .
  • the pressed-down actuating disk 34 is rotated, which has the effect of rotating the intermediate piece 25 as well.
  • the locking parts 23 are thus pushed from the second areas of the openings to the first areas of the openings 22 and can then be pulled out through these openings.
  • a central bolt 36 of the coupler 55 is connected at one end by a ball joint-like connection to the arms 1 , 2 and at the other end by another ball joint-like connection via the intermediate piece 25 to the two locking parts 23 .
  • the central bolt 36 is thus able to swivel in all directions (as indicated by the arrow 38 in FIG. 5 ).
  • a ball joint head 71 is seated on the central bolt.
  • the bolt 36 has a section of reduced diameter, and the free end is provided with a thread. The ball joint head 71 is pushed onto this section until it rests against the shoulder of the section of the bolt with the larger diameter.
  • a bearing part 72 which has a ball joint socket 75 , is supported on the ball joint head 71 .
  • This bearing part 72 carries the arms 1 , 2 , which are rotatably held between an outward-extending, ring-shaped flange of the bearing part 72 and a disk 73 , which is pushed onto the bearing part 72 , which disk is locked in place by a Seeger circlip ring 74 .
  • the bearing part 72 is free to swivel in all directions along with the arms 1 , 2 on the ball joint head 71 .
  • the bearing part 72 has two lateral openings 78 in the spherical surface at the bottom.
  • the ball head is introduced through these openings, while its longitudinal axis is tipped 90° relative to the longitudinal axis of the bearing part 72 . Then it is tipped back by 90°, so that its longitudinal axis is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the central bolt 36 . It is then seated in this position on the bolt 36 and fastened there by the nut 41 .
  • the central bolt 36 is connected by an additional ball joint-like connection to the intermediate piece 25 .
  • the head 37 of the bolt has a spherical shell-like surface 76 on the side facing the arms 1 , 2 , on which surface the edge of a central opening in the plate-shaped section 32 of the intermediate piece 25 rests.
  • the edge of this opening is adapted to conform to the spherical contour of the surface 76 so that the bolt 36 can swivel with respect to the intermediate piece 25 without a great deal of friction.
  • a strap 77 is rigidly attached to the pressure plate 31 to carry a centering pin 53 .
  • This pin projects through the central centering opening 54 into the adapter part 9 .
  • This centering pin makes it easier to close the fastening device, and it also centers the fastening device, so that eccentricities caused by the centrifugal forces during operation are prevented from building up.
  • these areas can be magnetized. This guarantees that the two locking parts 23 will not work themselves loose.
